TWINKLE LOVE

CHAPTER SEVEN

Returning to the girls, I found Meng Meng and Feier sitting together, eager to hear about my conversation with Ahzhuo. Meng Meng wasted no time in asking, "What did you and Ahzhuo talk about?"

Sitting down beside them, I hesitated for a moment before responding, "Nothing much, we just talked while walking." But Feier wasn't convinced and prodded further, "I know you talked about something interesting. Tell us, and we'll help you think."

With a resigned sigh, I relented, "Okay, fine. He wanted to know what I thought about him. He also mentioned that he concluded our relationship. That's all." Feier pressed on, "And? What was the conclusion?"

I shook my head, feeling a bit frustrated, "I don't know. He didn't tell me. But I know what my feelings for him are, and that's all I need." Meng Meng, ever curious, asked, "So, what are your feelings for him?"

I couldn't help but smile at the question, replying simply, "I like him."

The next day, we decided to play football on the beach. Ahzhuo and I ended up on different teams. I took up the role of goalkeeper for my team, while Ahzhuo positioned himself at the front for his team.

During the game, Ahzhuo managed to maneuver the ball close to our goalpost. As he stood poised to kick, I couldn't resist teasing him, "Ahzhuo, are you trying to start a fight?" Ahzhuo looked puzzled, replying, "We're playing football, why are you talking about fighting?" I playfully continued, "Well, if you score, we might just have to settle it with a fight."

Yaya, on Ahzhuo's team, chimed in, "Ahzhuo, just score. Yiyi won't stay mad forever. You can always charm her later." I retorted, "Charm won't work on me." Ahzhuo, perhaps swayed by the banter, ended up passing the ball to Yaya instead of taking the shot himself.

Our game continued in this light-hearted manner until Yaya hurt her foot, prompting a temporary halt in our play as Hui Hui attended to her injury.

After playing for a while, it was time to board the yacht. The guys were going to be driving them, while the girls had to decide which yacht to join. As we walked towards the deck, we noticed each guy in his yacht. Yaya voiced our dilemma, "How are we going to choose?" With only four girls and five guys, one of them would end up alone.

Feier took the lead and pointed towards Jerry's yacht. Meanwhile, Meng Meng expressed her desire to sit with Ahzhuo, explaining, "I haven't been getting along with Konglong and Bobo, so I'd rather go with Ahzhuo." I glanced at Ahzhuo and agreed, "Alright then, you can go with him, and I'll join Konglong since I haven't talked with him yet." With our decisions made, I headed towards Konglong's yacht, while Meng Meng went to Ahzhuo's, and Yaya accompanied Hui Hui. As we sailed on the ocean, Konglong kept repeating his catchphrase, "Be yourself 2024," which was quite amusing. Ahzhuo's yacht was nearby, and I could hear him teasing Bobo for being alone. Konglong, ever the entertainer, was vlogging and likened himself to the character Fluffy from the anime One Piece.

As the yachts cruised, Konglong asked if anyone wanted to dive. We glanced towards the couple's yacht and saw them striking the iconic Titanic pose. I couldn't help but comment, "They look so cute." Konglong chuckled in agreement, "Ohh, Titanic."

As the routine went on, it was time for us to listen to the messages for the day. Everyone took their seats, and as usual, Ahzhuo came and sat behind me. Feier jokingly remarked, "The sweet pairs go first." Yaya stood up and went next, followed by Hui Hui. Then Jerry went, but I noticed he seemed a bit hesitant while answering Feier's question.

Feier herself went next, and midway through her message, she smiled, leaving me puzzled about their relationship dynamic. Konglong went next, not receiving any messages, and then it was Bobo's turn. Meng Meng followed after Bobo. Finally, it was Ahzhuo's turn. As he listened, he smiled at the message, but I doubted it was mine, as his reaction didn't match my message.
